That is wrong on so many levels: Windows variants such as NT/2000/XP are not based on MS-DOS in any way. The default set of "executable" file extensions recognised by Windows is: .COM .EXE .BAT .CMD .VBS .VBE .JS .JSE .WSF .WSH You can change the recognised extensions simply by setting the PATHEXT environment variable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
